@"Fluffmeister1" wrote:I think the problem is that the article about sharing assumes that I'm the one doing the sharing, and tells me how I can unshare. The help article I linked to above explains how you can remove a shared folder that you're a member of. Refer to the section titled Permanently remove a folder.

Did you remove your access to the share, or simply delete the folder? * https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/leave-shared-folder

It would be best to describe the exact problem as it relates to you. Saying "same problem" isn't always accurate because your configuration may be different from the original author. For instance, the original author is talking about using Selective Sync, Smart Sync and an external drive. What, exactly, is the problem…

That's something that you'd need to ask Microsoft. Dropbox will sync any files you put it in. Whether or not OneNote supports Dropbox or allows you to save the files in Dropbox is something that only Microsoft can answer. [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you are experiencing a similar issue,…

That doesn't sound like a setting for Camera Uploads. On iOS it's simply an On/Off slider. I suspect it's similar on Android. Remember, you do this within the Dropbox app. Not within your phone's Settings/Permissions. Follow the help article that Mark posted, or tell us the type of phone you have.

@"sniper200478" wrote:There are no files in it. When i try to delete it, says: it's not empty. If Windows is telling you it's not empty, then it's not empty. Do you have hidden and system files visible? It could be that there are hidden files in the folder that you can't see.

@"hshaw" wrote:In my case, there isn't a PC involved. The PC doesn't matter. The point was that I see the files on a PC because Windows isn't configured to hide such files, like OS X or macOS do natively. It's still the Mac that's creating them. They're system files created by OS X and macOS.

@"JefW" wrote:... when I uncompressed the zip file, there was an ADDITIONAL folder named "__MACOSX" - when I opened that, there was a repeat of the [files/folders], but the file names were changed (most had underscores in them). Just to point it out for the Mac users that may not be aware, but this is pretty common when a…

And just to add ... @"geirgeir" wrote:My partner tries to upload big files to my Dropbox Plus. He gets the warning that he does not have enough space on HIS Dropbox. Your partner isn't uploading files to your Dropbox. He's uploading them to a folder on his Dropbox, which happens to sync to your Dropbox as well.

@"ScreenMachine" wrote:... I don't know whether Lightroom will try to download the entire photo library as preview, or only do it on-demand when I actually try to edit a file as opposed to just viewing the film-strip. If Lightroom generates thumbnails and previews on the fly, and doesn't store them itself after generation,…

@"Sam242" wrote:Why doesn't DropBox make a version that can run as a service? Because Dropbox has never intended for it to be used in that manner. It has always been meant as an application for one individual; not run as a service or be installed on server-based operating systems. Can it be done? Sure, but it's not on…

@"ScreenMachine" wrote: - can you set sync settings at a folder or file level? Smart Sync is set at the file and folder level, per computer. You can set any file or folder as Online-only or Local, on each computer independently. - what’s the best way to do the initial upload? I’m guessing I set the account/folder on the…

@"ScreenMachine" wrote:is it possible to use Smart Sync to have mainly online files (accessible on demand) on the Mac's Dropbox, and local/online files on the PC Dropbox (which I can also locally backup), or have I misunderstood what SmartSync can achieve? Yes, that's possible. Smart Sync settings are specific to the…

@"mlp42" wrote:I'm using the mobile desktop version (Dropbox for S mode), I can make files available offline but not folders. Any ideas why? That feature is only available on iOS and Android devices.

It is NEVER advised to nest folders from different syncing services. It can cause problems with the sync, and in some (extreme) cases, data loss. If you need to move data from one service to the other and don't want to download/upload, use a third-party service such as Mover.io or Multcloud to do the transfer for you.

Remember to do the math before you compare the reported speeds in Dropbox to your speed tests. While most ISPs and speed test sites display their results in bits (kilo or mega), the speeds reported by Dropbox are in bytes. Be sure to do the conversion before comparing. Your 800KB/s transfer speed is approximately 6.4Mb/s.…

@"John S.94" wrote:Sorry, This did not resolve my issue Then you should explain what that issue is, in detail, so that we may try to assist you.

Interesting. That option wasn't listed in the version I have. Could be a difference in the beta, or maybe account type.

@"Juunas" wrote:Unfortunately my reply keeps getting caught in the forum spam filter, hopefully it can be restored soon for some suggestions. It's likely being caught due to the number of links you're including. I've released it from the quarantine.

Have you clicked the arrow ^ in your system tray to expand the list of icons? If Dropbox is syncing, it should be there. Also, you don't need to go into the application to enable Smart Sync. As long as Dropbox is installed and Smart Sync is enabled for your account, you can simply right-click a file or folder and you…

@"andyve" wrote:IF THESE .ICLOU FILES ARE PLACEHOLDERS, WHY ARE THEY THE SAME SIZE AS THE ORIGINAL FILES? They likely aren't the same size. The operating system is probably reporting the true size of the original files, rather than the actual size of the placeholder.

No, it hasn't. I don't know of any service or file system that allows that, short of scripting it manually. I highly doubt this is something that will ever be integrated.

Is Dropbox enabled as a location in the Files app on your iPad? If not, Dropbox won't be available within Pages. I just tested this on an iPhone XS Max and it's working fine, as long as Dropbox is enabled within the Files app first.

* The trigger for saving a screenshot is the PrintScreen button. There isn't another combination (other than holding ALT or CTRL at the same time as PrintScreen). * This feature is found on the Import tab of Dropbox's Preferences. * Screenshots saved to Dropbox are saved to the Screenshots folder within your Dropbox. *…

There must be some logging in Zscaler. Check the logs to see what it's blocking and you'll likely find your answer.

Have you checked the Application and System event logs in Windows' Event Viewer?

@"Azim88" wrote:Hence, is this something possible that I can save that link to my linked FTP account and can later download with the FTP server where I can get the multiple concurrent connections.
